netty-codec-http: Netty: Data manipulation via request-boundary confusion in HttpObjectDecoder

A flaw was found in Netty. The HttpObjectDecoder component, which processes incoming HTTP requests, incorrectly skips certain control characters and whitespace before reading the first request line. This behavior, which goes beyond standard HTTP protocol requirements, can lead to request-boundary...

HTTP Request Smuggling

Netty is vulnerable to HTTP Request Smuggling. The vulnerability is due to HttpObjectDecoder improperly ignoring non-CRLF control characters before the request line, which allows an attacker to create request-boundary confusion between front-end and back-end components and potentially smuggle...

GHSA-HVCG-QMG6-JM4C Netty: HttpObjectDecoder skips arbitrary initial control characters when only initial CRLF characters are permitted

Summary Before reading the first request-line, HttpObjectDecoder skips every byte for which Character.isISOControlb is true 0x00–0x1F and 0x7F as well as all whitespace. RFC 9112 §2.2 only asks servers to ignore empty CRLF lines preceding the request-line — a carefully scoped robustness allowance...

CVE-2026-50020: Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests

Netty is a network application framework for development of protocol servers and clients. Prior to versions 4.1.135.Final and 4.2.15.Final, before reading the first request-line, HttpObjectDecoder skips every byte for which Character.isISOControlb is true 0x00–0x1F and 0x7F as well as all...

netty: io.netty/netty-codec-http: Netty: HTTP Request Smuggling due to improper handling of conflicting HTTP/1.0 headers

A flaw was found in Netty's HttpObjectDecoder. A remote attacker can exploit this by sending a specially crafted HTTP/1.0 request that includes both Transfer-Encoding: chunked and Content-Length headers. While Netty correctly strips the conflicting Content-Length header for HTTP/1.1 messages, thi...

CVE-2026-42581: Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests

Netty is an asynchronous, event-driven network application framework. Prior to 4.2.13.Final and 4.1.133.Final, HttpObjectDecoder strips a conflicting Content-Length header when a request carries both Transfer-Encoding: chunked and Content-Length, but only for HTTP/1.1 messages. The guard is absen...
